Cat Flap Fitter Dingwall

Cat Flap Fitter Dingwall Scotland (IV15): To allow your cat the freedom and independence it needs to live a happy life, you could install a cat flap to an external wall or door in your Dingwall property. Cats are inclined to get irritated and crabby when kept indoors, and not allowed to roam. Having a cat that is both mentally and physically fit, is just one of the positive aspects of giving your cat easy access to world outside by way of a cat flap. If you opt to go down the cat flap route, you'll then have to decide what sort of cat flap would be best for you.

The simplest kind of cat flap is essentially that. A hole is cut in an external door and a bendable material is fixed over the gap to give some protection from the elements. Naturally, this is really basic, and will rarely adequate for most Dingwall cat owners, who would doubtless prefer something a little more secure and weatherproof for an external door to their property, although it may be appropriate for a shed door or garden fence panel.

Because this option can allow other cats or creatures to enter your property, it isn't at all recommended, though it can be enhanced somewhat by keeping the flap in position with the addition of a magnetic strip.

The next step up from the magnetic strip style are infra-red or RF chip, magnetically controlled cat flaps. This requires your cat to have a collar that's got either an IR, RF chip or magnet encased within it. Unless an animal is fitted with this special collar, it won't be able to trigger the flap and leave or access your property, therefore keeping out some unwanted visitors. The downside here is that any other moggy in the area that has a similar style of collar will be able to get into your property with this kind of cat flap. An enhancement to this product is a RF cat flap and collar system which offers a unique identifier which can be programmed by the householder.

A cat flap that is can be triggered by your pet's micro-chip, is the next level in Dingwall feline access security. The memory of these battery powered cat flaps can be programmed with one or even multiple microchip details (if you have more than one cat), to provide exclusive access. Whenever your cat comes in the vicinity of the flap, it unlocks and allows solely your micro-chipped pets to use the entrance/exit.

Whatever cat flap you buy, it must have the ability to be locked in place. For extra security, the majority of cat flaps feature a 4-way locking system these days. This allows your cat flap to permit only exit from your home, be fully locked, enable only admittance into your property, or have two-way entry and exit capability. This offers you choices for all times of night and day, to control exactly how your cat flap works. In line with yours and your pet's requirements, there's even the possibility to carry out specific functions according to the time of day, with several of the more advanced devices.

Fitting a cat flap yourself can be quite straightforward if you've got a solid timber door, and reasonable DIY capabilities. However, if it needs to be installed into a reinforced uPVC door or in a double glazed window panel, you shouldn't under any circumstances even attempt it on your own. This kind of installation requires the attention of a professional, and there are specialist cat flap installers and talented odd job men who'll be glad to undertake such a task.

INSTALLING CAT FLAPS IN DINGWALL

Double Glazing Installation - If you employ someone who attempts to drill a hole in a double glazed door or window panel to put in your cat flap, stop them immediately and request that they leave. New cat flaps cannot be fitted into existing double glazing doors or window panels. Making a hole in the double glazing damages not merely the security and strength of the glazing, but it removes the insulation attributes as well. The double glazing will be rendered unsound, and it shouldn't be done in any circumstances whatsoever.

An experienced cat flap installer will measure the existing double glazed pane and have a local Dingwall glazing firm make a new one. As part of its construction this new pane will have a hole pre-cut, which the cat flap can be fitted snugly into. You might have a one or two week waiting period for this pane to be produced, however if you want a cat flap installed in a pre-existing patio or double glazed door, this is really the only way to accomplish it. Once your new panel of glass shows up, the fitter will remove the old unit, and swap it for the new "cat flap ready" one. It's now possible to fit your new cat flap.

External Wooden Doors - The least complicated option for new cat flap installations in Dingwall, as was previously mentioned, are wooden door panels. If you're nervous about creating a hole in your door, it's probably a good idea to bring in a professional to undertake the project for you. An undertaking like this will not be expensive and will give you the satisfaction of knowing that your pet will have the use of a professionally installed flap.

uPVC Door Panels - It's quite feasible to fit a cat flap into a uPVC door. It pays to know the interior construction, since some door panels are lined with steel for additional security. A one-piece door panel allows for easier installation, so if you have a uPVC door that is slatted, it might be more cost effective to swap the panel for a single pane model.

Wall Installation - It's also possible to have a cat flap mounted into an outside wall of your home in Dingwall, if you do not wish to cut chunks out of your doors, for aesthetic or safety reasons. Requiring considerably more skill and equipment, a wall cat flap install is undoubtedly best left to the pros, if it's to be accomplished successfully. You can opt for a straight through tunnel style, or perhaps a right angled model that permits access via a pillar. This installation involves a square hole being made through the wall of your choice, into which a plastic or metal, open ended square tube is inserted. A suitable cat flap can then be installed on each side of the hole.

Replacing Your Existing Cat Flap in Dingwall - If your door, window or wall is already fitted with a cat flap, but it isn't working properly, or is damaged, it is quite possible to fit a replacement into the current hole. A good cat flap fitter in Dingwall will be capable of removing your old,unwanted cat flap, and fit a brand new one as a replacement without harming the door, window or wall.

When your installation involves insertion into a pre-cut hole in double glazing, it is essential to make certain that this was previously done accurately, before fitting the new flap. If it becomes obvious that this isn't the case, and corners were cut in the original installation, the panel will have to be removed and replaced to avoid any security and safety issues.

Cat Flap Weatherproofing Dingwall

Both outdoor and indoor cats need their cat flaps to be weatherproofed to ensure their well-being and comfort. An effective barrier against the elements, a well-weatherproofed cat flap shields cats from rain, chilly draughts and wind, and extreme temperatures. Their safety is contributed to by this protective strategy, and it also enhances their overall quality of life.

To make a cat flap weatherproof, the key is to opt for materials and design elements that possess the resilience to endure diverse climatic conditions. High-quality seals around the cat flap edges are vital to prevent rainwater from seeping indoors, which will ensure a dry environment. Cold draughts can be something of a discomfort for cats, affecting their overall contentment and health. Maintaining a pleasant indoor temperature, protecting felines from chilling draughts, and ensuring they remain warm and cosy are all benefits of successful weatherproofing that also uses insulating materials.

For cat owners who allow their furry friends to venture outdoors, weatherproofing becomes even more important. A cat's health can be damaged by exposure to strong winds, rain or cold temperatures. Offering cats a comfortable and safe entrance to the property, a suitably weatherproofed cat flap becomes a vital lifeline for them. (42068)
